The 2012 Women's Member Guest started out under a blue sky on Saturday, but after lunch a cold wind moved in. Conveniently they players could put on their Longwood warm up jackets which was this years gift to the players.
The players were divided into 2 division, creatively named the "Billie Jean Moffitt" and the "Billie Jean King" divisions. As you know, Billie Jean King's maiden name was Moffitt. In each division there were 2 flights of 6 teams.

After a morning session of round robins, the number 1 and 2 teams of each flight moved into a Championship Playoff. Number 3 and 4 from each flight played for the 3rd and 4th position. The remaining teams played for position 5 and 6.
In the playoffs after lunch, Allison Taff and her guest Maggie Butorac ended up winning the Billie Jean Moffit Championship, 8-4 against Molly Hahn and her guest Nancy Grimes. In the Billie Jean King division, Cynthia Dareshori and her guest Cheryl Emery won against Nancy Hughes and her guest Carol Linde for the Championship.
Lunch was privided by our own Tony B. I had some left overs in the kitchen as the afternoon play off started. I couldn't find the Toast Skagen, maybe next weekend for the Men's Member Guest.
